As we’ve heard before, Amazon smartphone specs will include an additional four front cameras – one in each corner – for eye-tracking silliness, allowing the device to show 3D images without the need for glasses.

Furthermore, BGR says you’ll be able to tilt the phone to bring up additional contextual information.

In the native Email and Calendar apps, for example, tilting will reveal labels below otherwise unmarked icons, detailing the function of each.

Similarly, in the Amazon video store, tilting will bring up IMDb ratings, while tilting will also scroll the page in the Kindle app. Is it just me, or does the latter in particular sound potentially irksome?

Ultimately, we’re told, the Amazon smartphone will do away with Menu buttons in many of its proprietary apps, with sliding panels instead moving around as the user tilts.
